Cosy apartment in the heart of Riga

Cosy apartment in the heart of Riga Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? It’s tucked away on Aleksandra Čaka iela – which, honestly, is probably the most perfectly central street you’ve never heard of if you’re not from Riga. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Old Town’s cobblestones, but you’re also right in the thick of where actual Rigans live and work. The building itself has that solid, pre-war feel – thick walls that actually keep the sound out, unlike some of the newer conversions I’ve stayed in around Europe.

The apartment lives up to its “cosy” promise without feeling cramped, which is honestly rare. There’s this lived-in quality that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than some sterile rental. The owner clearly knows what travelers actually need – proper coffee setup, decent Wi-Fi that doesn’t cut out every twenty minutes, and enough outlets near the bed (small thing, but you know how annoying it is when there aren’t any). The location really shines when you realize you can walk to Centrs in one direction for all the tourist stuff, or head toward the Central Market in the other for actual local life. I grabbed breakfast at this little bakery just two blocks down – the kind of spot where they know regulars by name and the pastries are still warm at 8 AM.

What really sold me on the place was coming back after a long day wandering around Vecrīga and actually feeling like I was coming home, not just returning to a hotel room. The neighborhood has this perfect mix of quiet residential streets and enough cafes and small shops that you don’t feel isolated. Plus – and this might sound weird – but the shower pressure is fantastic, which after walking around those medieval streets all day, you’ll definitely appreciate. The 9.7 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there; it’s not trying to be fancy, it’s just genuinely good at being what it is. If you’re the type who wants to experience Riga like you actually live there for a few days, rather than just checking landmarks off a list, this spot gets it right.

• Labai patiko. – Michailas from Lithuania – 4 June 2025 (10/10)

  Kolkas geriausi apartamentai kur buvau išnuomavęs. Pagal kokybės ir kainos santykį. Gera lokacija. Didelis numeris, plius virtuve. Nemokamas parkingas. Maloni šeimininkė. Žinau kur apsistoti kita karta. Rekomenduoju.

• Идеально для отдыха или деловой поездки – Jeļena from Latvia – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

  Апартаменты расположены в удобном месте, легко добраться до основных достопримечательностей, вокзала, магазинов и т.д. Есть парковка. В апартаментах очень уютно, просторно и чисто, никакого уличного шума. Есть всё необходимое для полноценного проживания: оборудованная кухня, Wi-Fi, принадлежности для душа, комфортная кровать. Чувствовалось, что владелец заботится о своих гостях и стремится сделать их пребывание максимально приятным.

  What could be improved: Niente da segnalare

• Very good – Riikka from Finland – 9 July 2025 (8/10)

  Mukava huoneisto, jossa kaikki tarpeellinen.
  
  What could be improved: Rappukäytävä haisi oksennukselta. Pitkän päivän jälkeen olisi ollut mukava istahtaa pehmeälle sohvalle/tuolille, mutta sellaista ei ollut.

• Jautėmės gana patogiai, vieta gera. – Renata from Lithuania – 24 June 2025 (8/10)

  Bendrai paėmus esame gana patenkinti. Švaru, nors minimaliai, bet skoningai įrengta.
  
  What could be improved: Internetas veikė tik pirmą vakarą, o kitas dvi dienas nebeveikė. Šioks toks nepatogumas buvo tai, kad bute daiktų ir baldų buvo minimaliai, pritrūkome vietos daiktams pasidėti, papildomos antklodės, indų (didesnių lėkščių ir dubens daržovėms) ir kitų smulkmenų. Nėra skalbimo mašinos.
